The top 50 list is fairly odd in some of its selections... For example, the television series of Logan's Run made the list ranking #15... While I do recall watching this series when it was on (I believe only one season) in the mid-70's.. I don't think it has been seen since, at least not by me. Yet, unless I missed it, I don't think Farscape made the list at all... but Stargate SG-I made it to number 6?? I guess Blake's 7 would be too much to ask for this mainstream American list.

While many super-hero legends have some science-fiction elements to them (i.e. Superman came from another planet, The Greatest American Hero suit came from aliens I believe, etc.) but many of them I would not consider to be 'science fiction' shows. Yet many populate this top 50 list.

As I commented above, it is odd that Farscape did not make the list at all, and if it lists shows such as The Avengers, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Wild, Wild West, Batman, etc... then a show such as The Prisoner should have also been included, yet it too is absent.

For some reason, I could not reply to your message directly, so I am replying here... I am not sure about the article, I don't believe the writer is even listed... at least on the boston.com version of it.
